Obama ridicules Cheney’s Iraq comments

Obama, speaking at a massive outdoor rally in Austin, Texas, said British Prime Minister Tony Blair’s decision this week to withdraw 1,600 troops is a recognition that Iraq’s problems can’t be solved militarily. 

Wouldn’t you’ve of loved to be a  fly on the wall when Cheney heard this:

Now if Tony Blair can understand that, then why can’t  George Bush and Dick Cheney understand that?” Obama asked thousands of supporters who gathered in the rain to hear him. “In fact, Dick Cheney said this is all part of the plan (and) it was a good thing that Tony Blair was withdrawing, even as the administration is preparing to put 20,000 more of our young men and women in.

This is the klind of plain talking that America wants to hear. Here’s some more plain talk:

“Now, keep in mind, this is the same guy that said we’d be greeted as liberators, the same guy that said that we’re in the last throes. I’m sure he forecast sun today,” Obama said to laughter from supporters holding campaign signs over their heads to keep dry. “When Dick Cheney says it’s a good thing, you know that you’ve probably got some big problems.”

Oh ya! You think Cheney’s head exploded? Now if we could get the rest of the Democrats and the Democratic Leadership talking like this, speaking truth to power in good old non parsed English, we’d have this country up in arms in no time. Obama has he right stuff and he may well get that 18+ crowd out working for the Democrats and voting Democratic, which would be a death blow to the National Republican Party. Make it so Barack.
